10 Rules for Guiding Food Transportation Management


Food safety and food quality cannot be separated. They are interdependent and both are the responsibility of the food transporter. Quality controls over transportation processes are required in order to maintain food safety standards.

1


All members in the food supply chain are interdependent. A break in the chain causes overall system failures and an interactive approach to transportation food safety must be taken.

2


The Supply Chain is a Process Measurement along the supply chain is critical to management’s ability to control food safety and quality. No measurement means there is a lack of ability to control. Inspection is subjective and expensive and needs to be supported by testing technologies.

3


Tests and technology must continue to be developed to support in-transit measurement needs. These include detection of bio-contaminants and other adulterants, allergens, tampering, explosive harmful gas detection.

4


Recall time will be reduced through electronic traceability systems, sharing of information and cooperation among supply chain partners. Reducing recall times means protecting consumers and innocent suppliers. It is an important form of damage control.

5


In-transit container sanitation for food is paramount. Get it under control.

6


Preventive risk reducing plans must include visibility for all supply chain members. Information systems that collect and transmit identification, location and condition of shipments must do so and deliver maps, temperature trends and alerts in real-time.

7


While prevention is critical, those in charge of food transportation systems must learn to respond rapidly to food safety and quality problems and priorities. Systems are required that will greatly reduce recall times.

8


More sophisticated and integrated food transportation information systems need to be developed in order to allow supply chain businesses to capture, share and use supply chain traceability and sanitation information.

9


Governments and laws cannot and will not solve international food transportation safety issues. Usually, businesses must do this. Government is generally involved in enforcement, and establishes laws to attend to that task.

Transportation Ties Them All Together


We can start with a definition: Risk is a calculated expected value of one or more results of one or more future events. The concept is more easily understood with questions like this: What’s the likelihood of a food borne contamination outbreak from A dirty truck that has a failed refrigeration system? A dirty truck with a good refrigeration system? A clean truck with a good refrigeration system? A clean truck with an independent temperature monitoring system? A clean truck with an independent temperature monitoring system that is part of a formal food safety transportation system?


Modeling Risk

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Results

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_(probability_theory)

Define the dependent variable.

(an outbreak will “depend on” - - - - what?) List independent variables (potential causes/hazards) Prioritize the causes from the most likely cause to the least likely cause.


Modeling Risk

The potential causes become what we call “independent variables”.

Suppose we think that food borne illness outbreaks are likely the result of one or more of these:

Dirty water (biological, chemical, radiological or allergen contamination) Biological, chemical, radiological or allergen contaminants on/in the food Poor management by food suppliers or transporters A lack of traceability to stop and control the outbreak from continuing to spread


Modeling Risk

Food borne illness (FI) is likely the result of a. dirty wash water, b. adulterants, c. poor temperature control and d. a lack of traceability

FI = f (a, b, c, d) This is read as “foodborne illness” is a function of (or may be caused by) risk factors such as dirty wash water, adulterants, poor temperature control and a lack of traceability. Can we measure or monitor FI as well as a, b, c and d? Some of these independent variables (potential causes) are best controlled by maintenance stations, suppliers or by a transportation company’s daily practices. We measure them all the time or can measure them if measurement and control over these causes is part of a standardized approach to transportation food safety.
